Naming question: \function

[Urs Liska]

Hi all,

I've started working on a package for displaying harmonic analysis
symbols. In the submodule for functional analysis I have (using the
original code of Malte Meyn) the main command \function, which gives
very obvious code like

  \function (D_3-7)=>

(for an intermediate dominant seventh with the "3" in bass position).

What do you guys here think: Could the use of "function" as a command
name lead a) to confusion by people mistaking it as a language keyword
or b) to issues down the road if at some point one might want to create
a core LilyPond procedure with that name?

Best
Urs

Thanks for the hint, but one of the big nuisance-things about Mac OS X Catalina 
is that these kind of utilities (a2ping) are just gone, are broken or are 
converted to gui (manual) applications without a command-line substitute. 
And one has to stumble on the problem, at least I didn't find a 
possibilitiy to install a ton of utilities covering these kind of things

Regards,
Wim.

Re: png export resolution

Hi,

If I type "lilypond -dhelp" I see "resolution (101)". Do I understand 
correctly that when using the --png option the default export 
resolution is 101 dpi? I am sure there is a good reason to have 
chosen 101 and not 100, or 110?


Don't worry, I know I can change this with the -dresolution option. I 
was just wondering about that strange value.





Hi Martin

I'm cleaning my inbox and I think nobody replied to your question.

It's not only in -dhelp, this is documented also in the Usage manual.

I've tried looking at git history.
That number changed from 116 to 90 and then 101.

There was a comment explaining that number:

;; at 101.178, a staff space is exactly 7 pixels.
  (resolution 101.178 "resolution for generating bitmaps")

So the purpose would seem to have a "pixel perfect" staff space.

Great!  This should also appear in news-headlines, methinks.

Looking forward to seeing your patch!



The patch has been merged, but I forgot to announce it in this thread.

There is \epsfile, and you can use a2ping for turning a jpeg file into
an eps file.

Can I include a picture?

[Wim van Dommelen]

Is there a possibility to include a graphic (PDF, JPG, TIFF or other) file for 
display in lilypond (book) output?

The graphic file is coming from another program and should be straightforward 
included. If I need scaliing, I can do that done before including, but some 
placement (left/right, up/down) on the page would be nice.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Wim van Dommelen.

problem running example.ly (example of Feta and Bravura)

[Freeman Gilmore]

I am trying to run example.ly (example of Feta and Bravura) from
openLilyLil.   It has been working fine; but I have been trying things
with SMuFL.

I run four computers, from a stick, that has LilyPond, Fescobaldi, and
 openLilyLil uninstall on.   The computer that I want to use has a
problem, the other three work fine.

Feta works but Bravura does not.example.ly knows were
"definitions.ily" is but does not fined the Barvuae font file which is
installed in the font folder of Lilypond on the stick.

>From the log:
warning: no glyph for character U+E566 in font `C:/WINDOWS/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf'
warning: no glyph for character U+E56C in font `C:/WINDOWS/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf'
...

Why the C: drive?  Why the  DejaVuSans.ttf font?

Thank you, ƒg
